Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Groupama Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Mihai Toma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 14' Olympique Lyonnais is taking the lead after the goal scored by Georges Mikautadze on 14.
- 19' FCSB Bukarest is showing some good football. However, FCSB Bukarest are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 24' It looks like no one’s ball. FCSB Bukarest is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Olympique Lyonnais that had 424 games and scored 568 goals.
- 34' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 37' GOAL! Ernest Nuamah scores on 37. Assisted by Georges Mikautadze
- 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adrian Sut suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' It is a substitution in Olympique Lyonnais team. Moussa Niakhate is replaced by Duje Caleta-Car on 46 minute.
- 47' Goal! Georges Mikautadze scores his 69 goal in 434 matches.
- 52' FCSB Bukarest seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 53' Another substitution for Olympique Lyonnais to replace Corentin Tolisso by Nemanja Matic on 53 minute.
- 54' The Olympique Lyonnais manager makes a substitution. Tanner Tessmann departs to be replaced by Thiago Almada.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Abner Vinicius made 373 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 64' Alexandru Baluta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' Malick Fofana is replacing Rayan Cherki for the Olympique Lyonnais side.
- 70' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 75' Olympique Lyonnais manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sael Kumbedi is hanging Abner Vinicius on the field on 75 minute.
- 79' The FCSB Bukarest manager makes a substitution. Mihai Toma departs to be replaced by Andrei Gheorghita.
